1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Inhibitors blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint demonstrate impressive anti-tumor immunity, and small molecule inhibitors disclosed by the Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) company have become a hot topic. In this work, by modifying the carbonyl group of BMS-202 into a hydroxyl group to achieve two enantiomers (MS and MR) with a chiral center, we found that this is an effective way to regulate its hydrophobicity and thus to reduce the negative effect of polar solvation free energy, which enhances the stability of PD-L1 dimer/inhibitor complexes. Moreover, we studied the binding modes of BMS-200 and BMS-202-related small molecule inhibitors by molecular dynamics simulation to explore their inhibitory mechanism targeting PD-L1 dimerization. The results showed that the size exclusion effect of the inhibitors triggered the rearrangement of the residue
